Product Manual

1) CUT PIPE TO LENGTH with tubing cutter (cut must be square)
(DO NOT USE HACKSAW)
• use pipe sealant/paste on all pipe threaded connections (not fitting cone nuts) DO
NOT USE TEFLON TAPE
• CHECK that all fittings are fully tightened before pressurizing the system for the first
time
• for initial installation, pressurize system slowly to 50psi and check for leaks, then pres-
surize slowly to MAX 190psi
• take extra precaution with END CAP INSTALLATION, double check these fittings
are tightened fully
• FASTPIPE can be bent to conform around minor obstacles to a maximum of 15
degrees. DO NOT OVERBEND
• USE JUMPER HOSE at the air compressor to absorb vibration
• ONLY FastPipe outlets are designed for the direct pulling force of air hoses, for other
fastPipe fittings attached to hoses, always secure hose with a STRAIN RELIEF, at-
tached to the building structure
• After the first 48-96 hours of operation, check all the joints. then make sure all the
cone nuts are tight as these may have loosened due to settling of the component
• Always use a filter unit to keep contaminants out of the FastPipe system
• system must be de-pressurized before installing, wear eye protection
• the drop can be used in any position on the pipe
• avoid putting the hole at the bottom of the pipe to prevent condensate or debris to
enter the drop pipe
• to prevent chips from entering the pipe interior, stop drilling occasionally and blow
out chips, grease the end of the drilling tool
• allen wrench for tightening is 6mm size
1) Position saddle drop opposite the side of the pipe that needs the hole
Tighten securely and mark the pipe by the raised locating mark on the fitting
Mark the pipe both horizontally and vertically along the fitting edge
2) Drill thru one side of pipe with the drill bit, using the hole in the fitting as a locator
3) Insert the saddle drop gasket into the molded cavity
4) Position the saddle drop over the drilled hole with aligning marks, tighten securely
5) Attach the necessary drop pipe or threaded adapter
* Compressed air is DANGEROUS if not used properly
• Always use EYE PROTECTION when using compressed air
• DO NOT POINT compressed air at your body or any person
• Pressurize system SLOWLY
• TURN OFF air compressor when not in use
• CHECK local building codes before installation
• CA PROP 65: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm
• ALWAYS RELIEVE the system pressure when installing or performing maintenance
• Systems must have a SAFETY RELIEF valve installed at the compressed air source to prevent over pressurization
• When using FastPipe in direct sunlight, cover or paint the polymer fittings to protect from UV exposure (Pipe needs no
covering and can be exposed)
2) DEBURR the end of the pipe outside and inside
(a smooth edge allows easy fitting assembly and no damage to
the fitting o-ring)
3) MARK END OF PIPE for the proper insertion depth
1” Fitting: 2-3/4 inches
1-1/2” Fitting; 4 inches
4) WET END OF PIPE with a very diluted soapy water
DO NOT USE ANY OIL OR GREASE LUBRICANT
5) LOOSEN FITTING CONE NUT PARTIALLY
LOOK INSIDE EACH FITTING FOR INNER PARTS
(inner parts, o-ring, stainless steel bite ring)
6) INSERT PIPE into fitting until pipe bottoms out
